Spain's Vincente Del Bosque Announces World Cup Provisional Squad

Earlier today, Spain Head Coach VIncente Del Bosque named a 30-player provisional list for the FIFA World Cup.

The usual powerhouses like Xavi Hernandez, David Villa, Fernando Torres, Iker Casillas, Fabregas and Carles Puyol made the list.

As pundits and fans alike eagerly anticipated the players who would get their first call-ups, many exciting names emerged from the list.

Athletico Madrid shot stopper, David De Gea was called up-although Reina, Valdes and Casillas stand in his way...as a keeper.

Barcelona starlet Pedro, who is having a phenomenal season, was mentioned, Osasuna’s Cesar Azpilicueta and Athletic Bilbao’s highly rated midfielder Javi Martinez, all of whom are uncapped at the senior level.

As forwards, Danny Guiza of Fernabahce, Athletic Bilbao's LLorente and Sevilla's Alvaro Negredo complete the "other" guys.
